About this Project
This nursery is fit for a princess! This delicate, feminine space features antique French elements and a soft monochromatic lilac colour palette. We wanted to celebrate the wonderful architectural details of this room, such as the high vaulted ceilings and the beautiful Palladian style window. The intricate medallion-patterned wallpaper and custom drapery on the back wall highlight these architectural elements, while creating a visual focal point for the room. Carrying the wallpaper up to the peak, painting the walls and ceilings in the same soft shade of lilac, and adding the beautiful iron and crystal chandelier, all work to encourage one's eye upward to the vaulted ceiling; while the large rug helps to ground this tall space. The French details on the dresser and Louis XV inspired chair, as well as the intricate medallion pattern of the rug, echoing that of the wallpaper, give this room an antique sophistication and elegance. While playful details like the bird figurine, DIY wall art, stuffed bunnies, and adorable baby dress and shoes, keep this room youthful and fit for a child.
